back in the day no one could breed willies dogs only himself no matter what members of the callindar club who had his dogs given by willie could not breed them no mater what

 

the only man that willie give permission to breed his dogs was paddy sweeney ,,, together willie and paddy probably bred some of the best dogs in uk and ireland

the became the best friends that could every be

there was 1 of his dogs in belfast in the 90s it was bred of .

Whats the names of the dogs in this pic ?

 

That Black dog looks massive, or the guys short ?

Whats its name ?

yes belonged to bg he was a big dog

the kind of guy willie was if he liked you he like you and if he dident he tell you great sports man

ps i could not lift my arm after holding that big black dog of bg s strong and fast dog him could run a hare

 

 

The black dog was called Jack .

 

Thats right Stan, you've just jogged my memory. I remember its brother, which was bigger, that BG moved on, that was put to a coursing bitch and a bloke I know kept one, ok dog too.

didnt them dogs that billy had mate'' the big black uns have some thing to do with the pye dog.... in there breding'

 

I think Warlock was put to a deerhound or deerhound cross and the results put back to coursing blood.
